The Warlord Dropship functioned as an Imperial transport vehicle, facilitating large-scale deployments on the ground.
As the most sizable dropship employed by the Imperial Navy, the Warlord Dropship possessed a length of 110 meters, significantly exceeding the dimensions of other Imperial dropships. Manufactured by the Telgorn Corporation, the Warlord Dropship could carry as many as 360 soldiers and 180 metric tons of supplies, or an armor platoon consisting of 4 AT-ATs, alongside a crew complement of 200 individuals.
Each dropship was fortified with substantial armor plating and equipped with six dual turbolaser cannons for defense. During atmospheric entry, a Warlord Dropship could reach speeds of 1,200 kilometers per hour while descending and 800 kilometers per hour while ascending.
Due to its considerable dimensions, the dropship necessitated the use of an ablative shield to endure the heat generated during planetary entry. This shield needed replacement following each deployment, a process demanding a minimum of two hours within a properly equipped Star Destroyer hangar.
